Usher Group Expands: Introducing Comprehensive Fire Protection and Industrial Coating Solutions
At Usher Group, our evolution is driven by a single, guiding principle: to better serve our clients and meet the ever-changing demands of the industries we support. We listen, we adapt, and we grow to provide the solutions you need to succeed.
Today, we are thrilled to announce a significant expansion of our capabilities. In direct response to increasing requests from our key clients, we have officially launched two new specialised divisions: Protective Coatings and Passive Fire Protection.
This strategic expansion allows us to offer an even more integrated service, ensuring the safety, compliance, and longevity of your most critical assets.
A New Standard in Passive Fire Protection
Passive Fire Protection (PFP) is a critical component of structural safety. It’s designed to compartmentalise a building and protect structural elements, slowing the spread of fire and maintaining structural integrity for a longer period. Our new services provide robust, compliant, and certified solutions to safeguard your projects.
Our highly qualified team of specialised applicators delivers a full range of PFP services, including:
Intumescent Coatings: These advanced coatings are applied to steel structures and swell when exposed to heat, creating an insulating char layer that enhances fire resistance and protects against structural failure.
Vermiculite Installation: We provide lightweight, spray-applied, fire-resistant coatings ideal for a wide range of applications, offering excellent thermal and acoustic properties.
Fenderlite Installation: For demanding industrial environments, Fenderlite offers durable, high-impact fireproofing that stands up to harsh conditions while providing critical protection.
Duct Work Fire Spray: We protect your vital HVAC and ventilation systems with specialised fire spray, preventing the spread of fire and smoke through a building’s ductwork.
Timber Intumescent Coatings: Safeguard architectural timber elements with advanced fire-retardant treatments, preserving the beauty of wood while ensuring it meets stringent fire safety standards.
Extending Asset Life with Industrial Coatings
Alongside our fire protection services, we have enhanced our industrial coatings offerings. Led by experts in surface preparation and application, this division focuses on asset protection and remediation.
Our industrial coating services now feature:
Protective Coating Applications: We apply high-performance coatings to protect steel and concrete assets from corrosion, abrasion, and chemical attack, significantly extending their operational life.
Dustless Abrasive Blasting: Using modern, efficient technology, we ensure superior surface preparation with minimal environmental impact, creating the optimal profile for coating adhesion.
Lead Paint Abatement: Our certified team safely and effectively removes hazardous lead-based paints, ensuring full compliance with safety regulations and protecting both people and the environment.
Expertise You Can Trust
To deliver these specialised services at the standard our clients expect, we have established a dedicated team of the industry’s best. This division is led by Project Manager Blake Ryan (NACE CIP Level 2), whose expertise and leadership ensure every project is managed and executed flawlessly, from initial consultation to final sign-off.
Proven Performance: Our Work in Action
While the divisions are new to the Usher Group banner, our team’s expertise is already well-established. They have an impressive portfolio of successfully completed projects that demonstrate their capability in handling large-scale, complex work.
